Fela Kuti, Ludwig van Bethoven, Robert Nesta Marley, Elvis Presley, Louis Armstrong, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Chuck Berry, Luciano Pavarotti, Michael Jackson, just to name a few. Not because of their colour of the skin, but because of their music.
Agreed with all except #1. Whitney Houston? What?? IMO, she just belted out songs, with no sublety or nuance. It was more shouting than singing. But what do I know? Some others to consider: Dionne Warwick, Paul Robeson, Nina Simone, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Duke Ellington, Nancy Wilson (my personal favourite) and Morgana King.
This guy could not be any further off . Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Charles Parker, etc billy holiday, little Richard, bb king , nat king Cole, Manu Debango, Ella Fitzgerald, Miriam Makeba , Jessie Norman, Scott Joplin, short list of the many who could take Lionel Richie’s place. But it’s absurd to even count them down if you know anything about about black American music. Being considered a great is not just about selling records or popularity. It’s about mostly impact too. There are many other too soon to count .
Gosh there's so many favorites it's hard to choose. Though the queens of soul, Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin should have made the list. I miss Bob Marley the most, though I was born after his death.
The picture of Whitney in the thumbnail isn't even her, it's the actress that plays her in one of her biopics.... come on, do better if you're gonna honor and show respect to these people
who you miss most?

10 isn't enough to name Black legendary musicians. Oh so, many not mentioned 😢
